The Rangers got one defenseman back from COVID-19 protocols on Monday but added another to break even.
Patrik Nemeth, who previously tested positive for the virus, cleared protocols and returned to practice while Jarred Tinordi entered protocols, joining Ryan Lindgren and Alexandar Georgiev. Nemeth entered COVID-19 protocols on Dec. 18, a day after playing 12:45 against the Golden Knights. He said he was able to skate once or twice before Monday just to begin getting his legs underneath him again.
“It’s obviously a little rusty when you get back after 10 days,” Nemeth said. “Even if I didn’t have anything, if I was just sitting home for 10 days, it would be the same. It would be rough. I had one practice today, I’ll have practice [Tuesday] and then we’ll just go from there and see.” . Combined with COVID-19-related postponements before the holiday hiatus, the Rangers will have gone 11 days without a game before playing again Wednesday.Still, coach Gerard Gallant was pleased with how his team looked in Monday’s practice and “the way they were jumping.”
